And, again, I would love to know how many Episcopals we have, here and how many are Libbos.

I know what the Stars and Bars is. It's the original confederate flag. Doesn't always generate the same reaction as the Battle Flag, but IMO its meaning is the same.

Re: Is the Confederate flag a symbol of treason?

I am not bigoted against poor whites. My family was lower-middle class for the longest time.

However, I am against white racists. And yes, I call them hicks, hillbillies, white-trash, and other derogatory names. But this is due to their beliefs, not who they are.

Is it ok to call racist blacks, "nigger"? By your logic, it is.

It's been well explained how the north started the war, and it's been thouroughly explained why the south seceeded and where the right was found. And the answer never changed from the people looking at things objectively. The "north only" side has been constantly changing the message. So, maybe ask them these things huh?

Neither side in an argument can find the truth when both make an absolute claim on it.

You confused them with the facts. For shame!

You called the Battle Flag the, "Stars and Bars". So, obviously, you didn't know the difference until you decided to do a little research.
